The Galapagos

The Galapagos are hard to describe because they are so unique. Dianne and I had a couple of days on our own doing day tours before taking a spectacular 4 day boat cruise. The boat that we were on was 5 star luxury and on solidified our backpacker plus status. We did not want to leave the ship.
I will post about each day but the highlight of course is the incredible wildlife. Swimming and playing with sea lions , the aquatic life , seeing sharks ( Dianne's very close up) , penguins and the vast array of birds including the boobies are just a few of the amazing things that happened in the Galapagos.
Our first couple of days we did day trips to Santa Fe and Isabela islands. Santa Fe was a snorkelling wonder. Lots of fish and sea lions and this is where Dianne saw her big sharks while we were playing with sea lions.
